D3ads Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 Does anyone here have a computer as low as mine? AMD Athlon 1.4ghz 512MB DDR RAM GF4 TI 4200] 40GB HDD I'm going to be thinking of getting a new motherboard, more ram, graphics card, cpu etc etc sometime, probably after Christmas. I just wondered if anyone has a machine similar to my current system, because I want to be able to play COD2, Quake IV and a few other games before I upgrade and I'd like to know if anyone will try the same as me and if they will have any luck.. Hope that makes sense, I'm kinda tired... Quote
DanielAragon Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 to play those games you're probably gonna need a complete overhaul, AKA a new computer...motherboards arent nearmy as important as ram/cpu/ vid card but you need a decent one. Quote

I'm not getting a new computer when I can just replace the motherboard... Anyone have some recommendations for parts? Quote
h2 Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 I had almost the same computer you have 3 months ago (1.5 Ghz athlon, 512ddram, 40 gb hdd). I bought 6600gt in summer and 120gb HDD a month ago and everything works fine. I had 32mb TNT2 before and i couldn't even play vice city with decent fps. Now I can play DoD source with resolution 1280x1024, full HDR and everything is set to highest expect AA that is disabled. COD2 and Aoe3 also run good. If you have tight budget I'd suggest getting new video card, if you have money go and build yourself a killer comp. Quote
Steppenwolf Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 I have the same shitty gfx card. Quote
jfas Posted October 7, 2005 Report Posted October 7, 2005 my terrible computer is p4 1.4 ghz, 256 mb ram, radeon 9600, and a 35 gig hd, so i feel your pain, but i'll be getting my new computer soon enough, and should be able to start playing games and mapping again Quote
insta Posted October 8, 2005 Report Posted October 8, 2005 I had a ti4200 until it melted. Great graphicscard. Quote
JynxDaddy Posted October 8, 2005 Report Posted October 8, 2005 Dude, get a whole new computer. You will surely need a new case even. Quote
st0lve Posted October 8, 2005 Report Posted October 8, 2005 I got a: 2,8 P4 512 ddr gf4 ti 4200 100gb need a new card and ram. Quote
D3ads Posted October 9, 2005 Author Report Posted October 9, 2005 I fail to see why I would need a new computer, I have a perfectly good case, sound card, roms and stuff, it's pointless buying more of what you already have imo. Quote
st0lve Posted October 9, 2005 Report Posted October 9, 2005 Well you cannot run the new games that well, and most of the new games that I've played\looking forward to requires a better cpu. Quote
D3ads Posted October 9, 2005 Author Report Posted October 9, 2005 Yeah but I mean all I have to do is replace the motherboard and fit a new cpu, extra ram blah blah. My plan is just to change the motherboard to fit a 3.6ghz compatibility one (my current only goes upto 1.8ghz) and then slot all the old stuff plus the new into place, I've already got a parts list for the new computer.
